Hi, I''m processing emails from a gmail account using POP3 and stunnel, I can connect fine and receive emails fine, but when i process the email (pop.mails.pop) I can''t seem to ever get that same email again. The emails are still in the gmail account, but when I run my email code again i don''t get anything, unless there are new emails. Is there a way to tell it to get all the mails, not just the new ones? How does it even know that it has already received those mails even after restarting both the server and stunnel process? Any help would be great, John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

And GMail will never send down a mail that you ever once marked as "read". This effect is above and beyond the mere POP3 protocol, and would tend to indicate they are being gracious by providing raw and un-advertised POP3 at all, and would much prefer their advertisers get to search into your mails and jockey for your eyeballs. Suggestion: Hit a dumb POP3 account (such as your ISP''s) and see if you pull your mails. -- Phlip http://www.greencheese.us/ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
